Powerline Perchers



Following up on John Fussell's oddball powerline percher, the oddest bird I 
have seen sitting on a powerline was an Upland Sandpiper.  It was a slightly 
breezy day and the bird had a heck of a time keeping its balance with those 
long legs, and feet that wouldn't curl around the wire.  I don't know how he 
did it.  It must have been like one of us trying to walk a tightrope.  He did 
have a good view of his field from there, though.
